Recipe Find: Search leads to baked stuffed cabbage roll

Updated 2:24 am, Saturday, July 28, 2012

Sylvia and Jim White downsized themselves out of a favorite recipe, and while we couldn't find the exact recipe they wanted, we think we've come up with a good substitute.

They wrote, “Several years ago the Express-News published booklets of recipes that were submitted by Express-News subscribers/readers. Each booklet was titled differently, Salads, Meats, Side Dishes, etc.

“One of our family favorites was a baked Stuffed Cabbage Roll recipe that included raisins, ground meat and white rice in a sauce that was amazing.

“Unfortunately, due to two moves and downsizing, we've lost the booklets. I've searched the Internet and dozens of recipe books and cannot find a baked Stuffed Cabbage Roll recipe that includes raisins. Can you help locate a copy of that recipe for us? We would be forever grateful.”

We published the cookbooklets that the Whites are referring to in the late '70s through the mid-'80s. I have all of them on file and spent several hours searching for a recipe like the one the Whites remembered.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a stuffed cabbage roll that contained raisins among the recipes in the booklets. However, we found a similar recipe online that fulfills all the Whites' requirements; hopefully it will re-create that flavor they want.
